While it’s clear that paper-based processes and systems reduce productivity, impacts the end-customer’s user experience and increases cost, they also pose a major environmental risk. Going paperless reduces the number of trees lost to the paper production process – in turn helping keep forests intact and reducing carbon levels in the atmosphere.

According to The World Counts, ‘The environmental effects of paper production include deforestation, the use of enormous amounts of energy and water as well as air pollution and waste problems. Paper accounts for around 26% of total waste at landfills.’

The Covid-19 outbreak highlighted to firms globally how switching to digital was the only way to survive, keep up with customer expectations and remain competitive. If you are concerned about how your company operates and planning on being more environmentally aware, you’ll already know going paperless is the easiest way to begin.
